i've been unconscious from the heat...
not really, but that would be a far more interesting story than what's actually been happening around here.
I hope everyone's Easter weekend was lovely. Ours was wonderful. The boys have never travelled so well, ever. It has to be a fluke. Or the Earth temporarily spun off its axis. Or there was a ripple in the time space continuum. Or something. Whatever it was, hopefully it can be duplicated on our next trip. I was a little disappointed there weren't more wildflowers along the highways but we did see lots of new life: new calves, baby goats and lambs (way more goats and sheep in general than we normally ever see along 206), and a baby zebra too. We stopped and turned around to see the zebras. Altogether we saw five, three adults, one yearling and a baby.
Once we made it to San Angelo, it was party time. My parents' house was bursting at the seams. All six kids plus two kids' spouses and two grandbabies were home for the weekend. It was fun...lots of hanging out, lots of Rummikub, lots of laughing and as always, lots of reminiscing. We took the boys to the park.
We did a little shopping. We had Lynn's parents over for Sunday lunch and the Easter egg hunt. I must not forget the minor emergencies either...what trip would be complete without one or both of my children cracking open their heads or scraping knees? One evening we had two little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and broke his ear. Caleb managed to split his ear right open (you can sort of see the damage in the above picture). It was nasty the night he did it, all swollen and bloody, but as of today it's almost completely healed. Logan gave himself a nice sized raspberry on his forehead where he faceplanted on the recycled tire playground flooring after he overshot his landing from the zip-line at the park. Thank GOD for recycled tire playground flooring! It could've been SO ugly and much more scary, but the flooring saved the day.
Since then nothing artsy or interesting has transpired. Lots of laundry shuffling, bill paying and grocery shopping has been caught up on though...and that is promising for an action packed rest of the week. I hope.
